2 WOODLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 WOODLANDS sales between September 2004 and October 2012 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2010 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 2 WOODLANDS be worth now?

2 WOODLANDS might now be worth an estimated £1,258,207.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.6%, between October 2012 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the St Albans local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 WOODLANDS of £760,000 on 12th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £760,000 to £1,258,207 over the thirteen years and seven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 WOODLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £760,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 WOODLANDS has not materially changed since October 2012.
